Answer:
A. x −3y = 6; 5x −y = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The first table gives the x- and y-intercepts, so you can write the equation for the line in intercept form as ...
x/a +y/b = 1 . . . . . . x-intercept = a; y-intercept = b
The x-value with y=0 is a=6; the y-value with x=0 is b=-2. So, the equation of the line for the first table is ...
x/6 +y/-2 = 1
Multiplying by 6 gives ...
x -3y = 6
The only matching equation is in answer choice A.

You can check that the second given equation in choice A matches the second table:
for (x, y) = (-3, -25), you have ...
5(-3) -(-25) = -15 +25 = 10 . . . . as required
